in group (B), the rabbits were left without treatment, as a control group. For clinical and histopathological

evaluation, each group was divided into four subgroups (two wounds/subgroup) on 3, 7, 14 and 21th days

post-wound creation and treatment. The result revealed, Clinically, the rate of wound healing was same in

all groups, no differences when section taken from the edge of the wounds. The results histopathologically,

shown the treated groups have greater cellularity with improved vasculature with the superiority of omega
